The 2014 tournament season is right around the corner!! This year looks to be another good one for Team Seven Star. The Tang Soo Do Mi Guk Kwan National Championship will be held this year in Stamford, CT. It's great to have the Championship back in CT. Last years tournament was held in Texas and unfortunately, Team Seven Star was unable to make the trip to compete. This year however, with the competition being held in a more local setting, The Team will be able to show up in force and hopefully match or exceed the success of the 2012 Nationals where 10 Team Seven Star members took 13 National titles and 20 Trophies home.

In just 2 weeks time, Master Devita will be hosting the first tournament of the year. His tournament, held in Greenwich, CT, is great for getting new competitors acclimated to the tournament atmosphere and at the same time, helps our veteran competitors get back in the swing of things. So far our team is looking strong for the first tournament. Our tentative list of Team Seven Star competitors for the opening competition looks like this:

New for this year, the highest ranking team member attending the event (besides Mr. McManus) will be designated the 'Team Captain'. The Team Captain will be chosen about 1 month from the tournament date. It will be this persons job to help motivate the team during training in the weeks leading up to the event.

Through this blog, we will update you on the status of the team and the progress of our training as we countdown to Nationals for 2014!!
